As you have the machine, and it boots, check the DIP

One of the switches is used to indicate if the boot drive is 40 or 80
cylinder.
and the model number(s) of the drives will enable looking up hints as the
specs (although some TM100-4M (100tpi) drives were labelled "TM100-4"
(96tpi)). Some of my drives ended up with labels on the faceplates.
For CP/M 2.x, CP/M-68K run STAT DSK:
For CP/M 3.0/"PLUS" IIRC, SHOW DRIVE
That'll give you some hints of the drive and parameters.
There should be a KERMIT available, although machine specific overlay
might not be. Getting it onto the machine is another minor project.
